    @scylla and @Rob_TO - you guys are awesome - thanks! As a follow up (sorry, these things pop into my head afterwards) - We plan on going back to the US around Xmas time for a vacation. Seeing how I anticipate we'll get the COPR shortly, will delaying the landing by ~1 - 2 months affect...

    I'm sure this has been answered countless times before, so I apologize (a quick search didn't give me the answer I was looking for). Very simply - how exactly do you "land"? My wife is already in Canada and has been since June 2012. She's on a visitor visa. We anticipate a COPR any day now...

    February 2013 OUTLAND (only) applications!! Here is your thread!!

    Thanks! Quick question. This was requested in the email: "COPY OR SCANNED IMAGE of your passport and passports of your accompanying family members, as noted below." I presume the "accompanying family members" are if my wife had kids and they were immigrating as well - is that correct? In...

    Foreign Service - Strike?

    "Keen" means (s)he's eager to hear that, not that news has come out re: end of the strike. That being said, I just want to confirm a couple of things. a) the NYC office is part of the strike as well, correct? b) The offices are still processing applications, just at a much slower pace...

    Need Help / Advice - Renewal of Visitor Visa

    That helps! We are flying for the trip, so I'm hoping that they don't give us trouble at Pearson. I'm going to do all the talking and flat out ask them to renew for 1 year instead of 6 months.

    Hey all - I just noticed this thread existed! I'm sponsoring my wife, and we filed for PR in February of this year, choosing the NYC office. Just wanted to say hi and hope that the strike isn't causing brutal delays for everybody.

    Need Help / Advice - Renewal of Visitor Visa

    Is this an option?? that's news to me Also - i replied in excitement before i really took it all in. Couple of clarifying questions: a) Does the fact that we're only going to the US for 4 days have an impact? Or is that irrelevant? b) Should we have all the paperwork that shows we already...

    Need Help / Advice - Renewal of Visitor Visa

    Hey all, I need some help and so I'm reaching out to the only place I know. I'll try to explain our situation as concisely as possible: I'm the sponsor. My wife is from the US and we are currently waiting for the PR application to finish. She lives with me in Canada. Initially, we drove...

    I see what you're saying I guess it all comes down to how we discuss with the border agent and their mood. Thanks for your help!

    Spousal sponsorship

    This seems tricky - perhaps i wasn't clear on my details? As a US Citizen, she is able to come into Canada freely for 6 months w/o the need to apply for a visa. We applied for an extension (an extra 1 year) to cover the processing time for her PR application, and received a document that states...

    Sorry for replying a week later - thanks for the reply! I'm actually the sponsor (Canadian Citizen, born in Canada), so i'm more concerned about my wife instead of me. We have a copy of her Visitor Visa (she applied for an extension), and we have our passports. Just wanted to check. Thanks...
